Tourist places in Karkala:

Gomateshwara Statue: Easily the main tourist
and pilgrimage attraction of Karkala, the Gomateshwara Statue needs to be seen
to be believed. This 45-feet tall statue weighs roughly 80 tons and lies on top
of a rock that is 300 feet high! All of this and it also overlooks a small
little lake, making for a picturesque view!
Padutirupathi Karkala: This famous temple, dating back to the
14th century, still serves as a meeting place for the people of
Karkala today. Although not very picturesque, we recommend visiting purely for
the historical significance.
Ramasamudra Lake: Visiting this
beautiful lake will provide one of the best views of the Western Ghats that
anyone could ever ask for. After a long
day of temple visits this is the perfect place to relax with friends and
family.
Insiders Tip: If you have time,
make sure to visit the St. Lawrence Church as well!
